  I got a GMKtec G3.

  I suppose I never actually had a good experience with Amazon to be able to compare against.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d be surprised, actually. You have to be careful, yes - the default option is that you get crap - but all of the high-quality cycling gear/running gear/variety consumer electronics I’ve scored is a testament to the possibility of getting great stuff.

  Honestly, it’s baffling how good some of the stuff you can get off of AliExpress is, especially when taking the low price into account.

  My ~$100 N100 server is a testament to that. Just need to score some additional storage for it

  Your brain is not rotten enough to comprehend the statement

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mogbattle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To my best understanding:

  Mog = outdo another person in aesthetics

  Hence a mogbattle would be a battle of looks, in this case determined by popular vote facilitated through the Discord reaction system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What vibecoding is for development, podcasting is for societal discussion.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are plenty of good podcasts out there, so this doesn’t really hold up to scrutiny.

  It’s a bit like calling all TV shit because of the existence of reality TV, or all movies bad because of the existence of Hallmark movies

  I mean, I’d probably do it server-side even if I were to have nefarious intent and want the data for myself anyway, since image processing client-side isn’t necessarily a good use of your users devices, really.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Assistant Is Basically on Life Support and Things Just Got Worse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As I understand it, Google mostly ships new stuff that they let die because it’s one of the only ways to get a promotion at Google - to ship a product.

  Once shipped, the newly promoted staff moves on to something else, and the business people take a look and see if the product actually makes any sense from a financial perspective, which is rarely the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Women’s ‘red flag’ app Tea is a privacy nightmare⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  SSL is not the tool you need in this case, although you should obviously already be running exclusively on encrypted traffic.

  The problem here is one of access rights - you should not make files default-available for anyone that can figure out the file name to the particular file in the bucket. At the very least, you need to be using signed URLs with a reasonably short expiration, and default all other access to be blocked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you under the impression that this will pay any artist anything?

  It’s fine to take a pro-piracy stance, but pretending that you’re doing it out of concern for the artists is grade A-bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Chatbots Remain Overconfident — Even When They’re Wrong: Large Language Models appear to be unaware of their own mistakes, prompting concerns about common uses for AI chatbots.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Language models are unsuitable for math problems broadly speaking. We already have good technology solutions for that category of problems. Luckily, you can combine the two - prompt the model to write a program that solves your math problem, then execute it. You’re likely to see a lot more success using this approach.

  I don’t think OpenAI maintains any data centers, they run all of their stuff on Azure.

  I believe it’s mostly illegal for both parties, but in practice less often enforced for the downloading party, as this enforcement would require too much resources for the enforcing side.

  To give concrete examples, downloading pirated material is illegal in both the U.S and in Sweden, and afaik the latter is on par with the rest of the EU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Speedometers are not allowed to display a lower speed than the vehicle is running at all under EU regulation - see eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=… § 5.3

  Displaying a speed slightly higher than actual speed is common and an acceptable margin of safety, such that if you are driving at the speed that the speedometer shows, you are more or less guaranteed to not exceed the speed limit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The amount you are allowed to drive over the speed limit is in fact 0mph (0 km/h for us Europeans).

  Tolerance of violations of this is a sign of a deeply broken society

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fart kontrol⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘Fart’ does refer to speed occasionally, but the key here is that it’s always called ‘Hastighetskontroll’ in Swedish. Note the double ‘L’ in ‘kontroll’ and the compounding of ‘hastighet’ and ‘kontroll’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fart kontrol⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is either Norwegian or Danish.

  It’s true that ‘fart’ means speed in Swedish, but in this context ‘hastighet’ would be used (~‘hastiness’).
